Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Grey's Anatomy or I would be watching it now. I don't own anything.
Note: Izzie and Alex have been going out since they started in season 2. There was no Denny and Alex never slept with Olivia in the on call room. Not that important just something mentioned.
The Last Morning Everything was the Same
Meredith was frantically tying to get ready for her first day of work. With the morning sickness she been having she was more nervous and running late. It's been years since she was the only new one. Yeah her internship, college, and Med School she was new once, but never the only new one. She was only going to know Dani. Everyone else will probably know everyone else. What if I get lost? Will they talk about me? Will they like me? Were all thoughts going through Meredith's head as she was trying to find an outfit that she didn't look pregnant wearing. She was barely showing, but of course she was self conscious. I am I doing the right thing running away from my old life? Will I raise this kid well? Is any going to be able to tell I'm pregnant? What would they think of me then? She was really starting to scare herself now. She decides to call Izzie. Meredith wants to talk to someone who is optimistic and wasn't judemental. Cristina, who is her person and never let's her forget it, wouldn't sugar coat the truth for her and she needs that now. Neither of them knew she was pregnant. She was having them over for Christmas and was going to tell them then. She doesn't want them to convince her to move back to Seattle. Meredith knows right now she would. She would lean on them to much. They would raise her kid and fight her battles. They were part of the reason her and Derek didn't get back together after he divorced his wife. As she is working up her nerves she digs in her bag for her cell phone and calls Izzie. It rings three times and on the third ring Izzie answers.
"Hello Izzie Stevens speaking."
"Hey Izz its me Meredith."
"Hey how have you been?" Izzie asks all the way in Seattle while twirling her new diamond engagement ring from Alex. She was to preoccupied to detect the fear and regret in her voice.
"I'm good. Moving forward little by little. I made a friend here already. Her name is Dani. She is a pediatric resident at the hospital where I start in like thirty minutes."
"Wow that's good."
"Yeah so I'm really nervous tell me something anything."
"Okay, um…Guess who got engaged?"
"Cristina and Burke I don't think she's ready for that. Callie and George they were having trouble in their relationship. Addison and Mark you sound too happy for. So that means Oh My God Izz Congratulations. I can't believe Alex popped the question. You said yes. I guess I am going to a wedding. Is it going to be in Seattle?"
"No we are thinking about having it in Hotel Hershey. The day before the wedding we could go to the Hershey spa and the day before that Hershey Park. We were thinking August and already booked the date. So what do you think? You will be in the wedding along with Cristina and some of my girlfriends from high school and college."
"When did you get engaged? You have so much thought out."
"Oh Saturday night. We went to a romantic dinner at this cute little Italian place. Then we went on a carriage ride to a park. The gazebo was filled with roses on the floor. Then when I turned around he had roses for me and a speech about how much he loves me. We then had champagne and strawberries and then he asked me. It was so perfect. We talked about marriage for months before then. We have been going out since like February."
"Yeah you have. I never thought one of us would get engaged. Wow that's big. Oh I have to go meeting with the chief. Congrats again Izzie. Call if your coming out for wedding planning. I wish you my all my luck you deserve it. Oh congratulate Alex as well for me future Dr. Karev. Bye"
"Bye Mer. I think I will see you in like a month."

Derek was going for his morning run. He wasn't due in for another hour and a half. Then he was meeting with the chief of surgery to meet the new neurology resident. She was shadowing him for the day. He had two surgeries later in the day and should be home by 6:00 the next morning. But he had this feeling today wasn't going to be a good day and it wouldn't pass. He was just shrugging it off. Until he ran passed the house where the person moved in last week. He was going passed the house when the door opened and a girl that looked like Meredith came out. No he was just going crazy thinking about his feeling and remembering the feeling she had before the explosion. That girl wasn't Meredith. He still had to meet her. As he was going by he waved and went on running she looked like she was going somewhere and was in a hurry.

Meredith had a weird feeling when someone ran past her house. He looked similar to Derek. He couldn't be Derek. Oh God I hope that wasn't his brother. Does he even have a brother? Then he might know about me and tell Derek. Great the day was shaping out great for her.
The next chapter they are going to meet. It will probably be up tonight. I loved the Izzie Alex romance. Oh so cute. Anyway thanks for the reviews I got already. You can review if you want. Its nice to know people like the story, because I really like it.
